Wireless? No, this is a Harley, and we're still in the 1980's.
You have to buy a Harley headset/mike combo, which connects to the bike with a cable. You install it in your helmet. Around $200, I think. Then you'll be able to answer calls, and hear music and GPS commands.
Unfortunately, our brand spankin' new 2015 Road Glide Specials do not have the plug for the cable, and the "official" way to connect it involves f***ing glueing a socket on to the tank between your legs.
I kid you not.

Who in their right f$!&ing mind wants to talk on the phone while riding their bike. Seriously, if a call is more important than paying attention let me suggest you apply for this year's darwin awards.

For those of you who wear your doo-rag, this obviously isn't a problem.
But thanks again for your thoughtful, respectful comment in this thread.

Actually, the "talking on the phone" part isn't important to me, at all. I would just like to be able to hear the GPS instructions. Which I can't, because I wear a full coverage helmet.
